HORIZON PROGRAMME The HORIZON destroyer has an overall length of 150,60 metres, a breadth of more than 20 and a full‐load displacement of approximately 7050 tons. It can accommodate a crew of 220. During the design phase particular attention was paid to the ship topside arrangement due to the high number of combat system subsystems to be installed on board and the reduction of the ship signatures. The propulsion system, of Combined Diesel or Gas type, The HORIZON comprises two 20.5 megawatts gas turbine, type LM 2500 and PROGRAMME is a two Diesel engines, each one with a maximum power of 4.3 megawatts. The continuous maximum speed is over 29 kts at full‐ French-Italian load displacement. The ship has an autonomy of 7,000 nm at 18 collaboration to build a kts, 3500 nm at 24 kts and it can carry out operations at long new generation of air range for up to 45 consecutive days. The ship is equipped with a defence destroyers. flight deck and can operate with NH90 or EH101 helicopters. The AAW capabilities of the Combat System is mainly based on a PAAMS (Principal Anti Air Missile System) for Self, Local Area and Medium Range Defence, capable of reacting to saturating diving and sea skimming missile attacks, directed to both the ship and its consorts. Andrea Doria, the first of the Italian Class zzontesn.com i .or Credits: NEA (Author Black) www OSN MAIN ACTIVITIES HORIZON PROGRAMME PAAMS utilises EMPAR multifunction radar, local Command and Control, Sylver A50 Vertical Launching System and Aster 15/30 SAM missiles. The PAAMS AAW capabilities are enhanced by the Long Range Radar able to cue EMPAR in order to allow, utilising the bi‐missile Sylver A50 VLS and Aster 30 SAM missiles, engagement at Medium Range. Another important contribution to the AAW is given by the RAN 30X Surface Surveillance Radar, the ILDS, Inner Layer Defence System, which makes use of NA25 Fire Control Systems and Super Rapid 76/62 guns. The contribution to the AWW, Above Water Warfare, is Caio Duilio of the Italian Navy completed by Infra Red Sensors, two 25 mm machine guns, EW capabilities including ESM, ECM and Decoy Launchers, Communications including Satellite and Multiple Tactical Data Links and Navigation System. The ship is also fitted for Teseo antiship missile system. The ASW capabilities are exploited by the hull‐mounted sonar, MU90 Torpedoes and SLAT countermeasures. The combat system is managed by a state of art Combat Management System. zzontesn.com i .or www OSN MAIN ACTIVITIES.

MDAA Region Brief: Europe Summer 2016 Addressing the Air and Ballistic Missile Threat to Europe: Cooperating in a Shifting Strategic Environment Introduction Next month’s Warsaw Summit could prove to be one of the most consequential for the alliance since the end of the Cold War as leaders from member states convene to discuss a myriad of threats. NATO Summits are convened on an ad-hoc basis, as required by the evolving political and security situation. In recent years, summit locations have held some thematic signiﬁcance. This year’s summit in Warsaw is indicative of the increasing threat the alliance faces from the east, particularly in regards to the air challenge. The proliferation of ballistic missile technology also continues to demand the attention of NATO members. In May of this year, two key milestones were achieved in the deployment of European Phased Adaptive Approach (EPAA) capabilities, the plan put in place by the Obama Administration to protect Europe from a ballistic missile attack originating from Iran. On May 12 Phase II of the EPAA, the Aegis Ashore site in Deveselu, Romania, was deemed operationally certiﬁed. The following day on May 13, a groundbreaking ceremony took place for Phase III of the EPAA, an Aegis Ashore site in Redzikowo, Poland. When the work in Poland is complete, Phase 3 will provide the necessary capabilities to provide ballistic missile defense coverage of all NATO European territory and populations in the 2018 timeframe against intermediate-range ballistic missiles. Defending the air above NATO member states also remains a challenge, particularly from an increasingly modern Russian military.

Press Release
Press Release 5th February 2009 FURTHER test firing success for ROYAL NAVY’S SEA VIPER AIR DEFENCE SYSTEM Sea Viper, the Royal Navy’s new advanced naval air defence system, was successfully test fired for a second time on 4th February from the trials barge Longbow at the French DGA’s CELM (Centre d’Essais de Lancement des Missiles ) test range near the Ile du Levant off the French coast. The successful firing marks a further key step in the demonstration of the maturity of the Sea Viper system, known until recently in the UK as PAAMS (S), in the lead up to the missile system entering service onboard the Royal Navy’s new Daring class Type 45 destroyers. The trial comprised the firing of a single Aster 15 missile launched against a Mirach target simulating a low level attack by an anti-ship missile. All aspects of the system behaved as expected with the Aster missile intercepting the target at very close range. Nick Neale, PAAMS Project Director in the Aster Systems Programme directorate, said: “Following on from the successful first firing in June last year, this second firing success kicks off our 2009 programme of work in the best possible way. We look forward with pride to completing the remainder of the system qualification programme and to the entry of the system into service on board the RN’s new Type 45 destroyers”. Antoine Bouvier, MBDA’s CEO, said: “This second successful firing is another important milestone for PAAMS and MBDA’s Aster missile system family. It provides a clear demonstration of the performance leap that the PAAMS system will bring when it enters service.” All the Sea Viper system elements have been set to work on the first of class Type 45, HMS Daring.
